First or Third person view for batting?

[javs52]

This thing came to my mind.

Wouldnt it be cool if we could actually BAT from a third person or first person view ? like the camera is behind & above the batsman?

I mean it would be really realistic then rather than have just one view for the same batting as well as bowling.

i know its been like that for years but if Transmission games can consider this for their next instalment, I think this game would really ROCK with a new perspective.

what do you guys think?

Terrible, you'd lose the ball all the time.

I actually quite like that idea.
It would have to be done well though for it to work.

have you seen Major league baseball by 2K9 games? its in 3rd person view for the batter......

for e.g.

I think there was an option for that in the EA games because I remember batting as first person (or at least behind the batter) for c2k2 and c2k4.

It was in C07 iirc. The keeper was translucent.

This ideas has been actually been tried a few years ago, I can not remember but I think it migh have been by EAS Sports.

Only if there's an option, like EA did with one of their games.

Behind and above is no good though, you would keep missing the ball.

How would this translate to 1v1 offline though? There's always that to consider.

Didn't BLC '99 have a first person batsman view (which made it impossible to see full pitched balls as they were below the eye line) as part of a cheat or something??

Would be good if implemented properly, but would prob be too hard to achieve that.

Mate chuck in a poll, see how that goes....

OK Poll is UP

Interesting development idea I say.

The batting could be like the catching. The better a batsmans 'eye is in' the slower the delivery would appear for the batsman.

Although I think this would slow down the speed of a game too much
